Why Option A is Better: Option A emphasizes gathering a comprehensive set of volatile data, including: Open Files: Crucial for understanding what data was in use at the time of the incident. Command History: Provides insight into what actions were taken by the user or attacker. Running Processes and Network Connections: Helps in identifying active threats or compromised components. Option C is somewhat narrow in its focus. While it includes important elements like data stored on cloud services and unencrypted containers, it might overlook other critical volatile data that live acquisition should cover comprehensively.
